Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

One or more exemplary embodiments relate to a novel pyranochromenylphenol derivative which is effective for preventing or treating a metabolic syndrome or an inflammatory disease, and the use thereof for preventing or treating a metabolic syndrome or an inflammatory disease.

BACKGROUND ART

A human body has approximately 20 billion or more adipocytes, and if supplies of energy are extremely excessive to demands thereon, triglycerides are stored in the adipocytes in the human body, which are degraded into free fatty acids and glucose, which will be used as an energy source upon the exhaustion of energy.
Obesity, which about 30 to about 40% of people of today have, occurs when excessive energy is accumulated due to imbalance of the above process, and shows the increased size and number of adipocytes. The hygienic environment has been improved due to improvement in the standard of living resulting from the recent economic development, frequent consumption of instant food products and changes in dietary habits toward the consumption of more meat induce the accumulation of excessive amounts of caloric energy in the body. These changes in dietary habits of people of today show a tendency of a rapid increase in the obese population in addition to a decrease in consumption of calories due to the lack of exercise. This obesity is so closely associated with a metabolic syndrome that obesity may be used for the diagnosis of a metabolic syndrome.
The metabolic syndrome is a term used to conceptualize a cluster of risk factors of various cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus as one disease group. This is a useful concept which may comprehensively explain all of the insulin resistance and complex and various metabolic disorders and clinical aspects associated with the same, and refers to a syndrome in which risk factors such as obesity, diabetes, fatty liver and hypertriglyceridemia are together increased. Accordingly, when a person gets a metabolic syndrome, the risk of developing a cardiovascular disease or type 2 diabetes mellitus is increased. According to the ATPIII of US National Cholesterol Education Program published in 2001, when a patient develops three or more of five risk factors such as an abdomen-obesity of 40 inch (102 cm) for a man and 35 inch (88 cm) for a woman in terms of waist circumference, a triglyceride level of 150 mg/dL or more, a HDL cholesterol level of 40 mg/dL or less for a man and 50 mg/dL or less for a woman, a blood pressure of 130/85 mmHg or more, and a fasting glucose of 110 mg/dL or more, the patient is diagnosed with a metabolic syndrome.
Insulin resistance refers to a phenomenon in which even though insulin is normally secreted in vivo, insulin does not induce sufficient supply of glucose to cells. Therefore, glucose in the blood cannot enter cells, thus causing hyperglycemia, and thereby cells cannot perform normal functions due to a shortage of glucose, leading to the manifestation of a metabolic syndrome. The diabetic symptoms thus developed are classified into type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM, noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus: NIDDM), which is different from type 1 diabetes mellitus (insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus). For this reason, the most preferred method of treating type 2 diabetes mellitus is to induce insulin so as to perform normal functions by improving insulin resistance. Nevertheless, an agent for improving insulin resistance has been scarcely developed so far. Most of the agents for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus currently in use or developed are targeted to further increase the amount of insulin secreted in order to compensate for the lost function of insulin caused by insulin resistance. However, when the amount of insulin secreted in our body is increased, obesity and inflammation are definitely caused, thereby resulting in various side effects such as an increase in cancer incidence, so that unless the problem of insulin resistance is fundamentally alleviated, a temporary normalization of blood sugar may be expected, but a result that health gradually deteriorates is only obtained. For this reason, there is more urgent need in society for a therapeutic agent for type 2 diabetes mellitus, which may normalize blood sugar by alleviating insulin resistance.
Meanwhile, Patent Document 1 discloses the use of glabridin for preventing or treating a metabolic syndrome including hyperlipidemia, fatty liver, glucose metabolism disorder, diabetes and obesity:
Glabridin is known to be effective not only for a metabolic syndrome including hyperlipidemia, fatty liver, glucose metabolism disorder, diabetes and obesity, but also for prevention and treatment such as anti-inflammatory action and anticancer action, but is easily broken down by sunlight, moisture, acidity, basicity, oxygen, heat and the like due to low chemical stability, so that it is very difficult to develop a product utilizing glabridin (Non-Patent Document 1).
According to various studies hitherto published, leptin resistance and insulin resistance are each considered to be an important cause for obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and the most representative and inventive mechanism causing these resistances is due to a problem caused during the signaling process in a leptin receptor and an insulin receptor (IR), and both the receptors are commonly closely associated with protein tyrosine phosphatase 1 B (PTP1 B) (Non-Patent Document 2).
Only from the fact that the signaling process of both leptin (a signaling material which promotes food intake and energy consumption) and insulin (a signaling material which promotes carbohydrate uptake and lipid synthesis) which are the most important hormones associated with the accumulation of energy in our body, it is enough for PTP1 B to draw people's attention as the most important therapeutic target for obesity and diabetes. In addition, since the year 2000 in which the action mechanism on PTP1 B was clearly identified, PTP1 B has actually drawn most attention as an important pharmacological mechanism for treating obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and cancer. That is, a PTP1 B inhibitor, which may arbitrarily control the activity of PTP1 B, is highly likely to be developed as a therapeutic agent for obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus, which normalizes the activity of leptin and insulin by alleviating leptin and insulin resistance (Non-Patent Documents 3 and 4).
According to research results revealed by various studies recently conducted, it has been found that PTP1 B is closely associated with not only obesity and diabetes, but also various inflammatory diseases, heart diseases, endoplasmic reticulum stress diseases, breast cancer, prostate cancer and the like. As described above, while it has been found that various chronic diseases referred to as adult diseases in a typical sense are directly and indirectly associated with PTP1 B, PTP1 B has been highlighted as an important and fundamental therapeutic target for treating these adult diseases. In this sense, it is not too much to say that PTP1 B is the most basic and fundamental cause of disease, which forms the bottom of many adult diseases (Non-Patent Document 5).

Example 2: Synthesis of 3-(2-hydroxy-4-methylphenyl)-8,8-dimethyl-2,3,4,8,9,10-hexahydropyrano [2,3-f] chromene (Compound 3)

(1) Preparation of Methyl 2-(2-benzyloxy-4-methylphenyl)-3-(2,2-dimethyl-5-hydroxy-2H-1-benzopyran-6-yl) acrylate

45 ml of a 1.0 M LDA in THF solution was added to a 3-necked round flask while being maintained under nitrogen atmosphere, and the flask was cooled in a dry ice-acetone bath at -78°C. 8.10 g (30.0 mmol) of (methyl 2-benzyloxy-4-methylphenyl) acetate prepared in Preparation Example 5 was dissolved in 150 ml of THF, and the resulting solution was slowly added to the 1.0 M LDA in THF solution previously prepared for 30 minutes, and further stirred for 30 minutes. A solution obtained by dissolving 9.24 g (30.0 mmol) of 5-benzoyloxy-2,2-dimethyl-6-formyl-2H-1-benzopyran prepared in Preparation Example 3 in 20 ml of THF was slowly added to the reaction solution previously prepared over 30 minutes, and then further stirred for 30 minutes. The round flask was separated from the dry ice acetone bath and left to stand to slowly heat the reaction solution to 0°C. At this state, 100 ml of brine was added thereto, and the resulting solution was vigorously stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The organic layer was separated, and then the aqueous layer was further extracted using 200ml of ethyl acetate. The organic layer thus extracted with ethyl acetate was combined with the organic layer previously separated, and the resulting mixture was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then distilled under reduced pressure for concentration. The concentrate was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain 5.79 g (12.70 mmol) of methyl 2-(2-benzyloxy-4-methylphenyl)-3-(2,2-dimethyl-5-hydroxy-2H-1-benzopyran-6-yl) acrylate.

Experimental Example 1: Experiment of PTP1 B Inhibition

With respect to PTP1 B, the degrees of inhibition (IC₅₀ The half maximal inhibitory concentration) of glabridin, and compounds of Preparation Example 2 (Compound 1), Example 2 (Compound 3), Example 3 (Compound 4), Example 4 (Compound 5), Example 13 (Compound 14), Example 14 (Compound 15), Example 15 (Compound 16), Example 17 (Compound 18), Example 18 (Compound 19) and Example 20 (Compound 21) were compared to each other. For this purpose, the degree of inhibition activity for PTP1 B was investigated by using 2 mM p-nitrophenyl phosphate (p-NPP) as a substrate to measure the dephosphorylation degree. First, PTP1 B diluted with distilled water was reacted with 2 mM p-nitrophenyl phosphate {p-NPP, 0.1 M NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 50 mM citrate pH 6.0, and 1 mM dithiothreitol (DTT)} and Compound 1 at various concentrations at 30°C for 30 minutes, and then the reaction was terminated with a 1 N-sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution. The absorbance of the samples thus prepared was measured to confirm the inhibition degree (IC₅₀: The half maximal inhibitory concentration) for PTP1 B activity according to the concentration of Compound 1. Even for glabridin, Compound 3, Compound 4, Compound 5, Compound 14, Compound 15, Compound 16, Compound 18, Compound 19, and Compound 21, the same measurement was performed.

Experimental Example 2: Experiment of Anti-Obesity Effect for DIO Mice

Five-week-old female C57BL/6 mice (Narabio Co., Ltd.) were purchased and fed with only high-fat diet for at least 10 weeks to produce diet induced obesity (DIC) mice. Samples were exactly taken from Preparation Example 1 (glabridin) and the compounds of Examples of the present invention (Compounds 1 to 5, 7, 9, 11, 14 to 16, 21, and 23) according to the administration dose and put into Falcon tubes, 3 ml of a 0.5% methyl cellulose aqueous solution was added thereto and a vortex mixer was used to primarily mix the ingredients in a soft manner, and then a homogenizer (30,000 rpm, Ultra-Turrax^® T10 Basic, IKA) was used to treat the sample for 3 minutes while 1.5 ml of a 0.5% methyl cellulose aqueous solution was added thereto. The sample thus prepared was administered through oral gavage using a disposable plastic syringe once daily for 28 days (4 weeks). The body weight was measured twice a week while the DIO mice were bred in this manner. Based on the data thus calculated, the anti-obesity effect (%) was calculated according to the equation defined as follows. $Anti - Obesity Effect = \{(Body weight of control group) - (Body weight of experimental group)\} / (Body weight of control group) \times 100$

The results obtained as above are shown in the following Table 2.

Experimental Example 7: Experiment of Comparing Chemical Stability

The relative chemical stability of glabridin of Preparation Example 1, Example 3 (Compound 4), Example 4 (Compound 5) and Example 14 (Compound 15) were compared with each other. That is, 50 mg of each of glabridin, Compound 4, Compound 5, and Compound 15 was exactly weighed, dissolved in 50 ml of 1% HCl in MeOH and 10 ml of 1% NaOH in MeOH, and the concentrations of the compounds were examined by HPLC at each time level of 0, 8 hrs, 12 hrs, 24 hrs, 48 hrs, and 72 hrs. At this time, the concentrations of the compounds remaining in 1% HCl in MeOH and 1% NaOH in MeOH were determined using an internal standard (Compound 14 of Example 13). That is, 10 mg of Compound 14 was exactly weighed and dissolved in 100 ml of acetonitrile, 9 ml of this solution was mixed with 1 ml of the sample aliquoted at each time level, the mixture was analyzed by HPLC, and the concentrations of the compounds in the internal standard and in the above samples were determined by comparing the initial values.
The concentrations of the compounds remaining in 1% HCl in MeOH and 1% NaOH in MeOH at each time level are in the following Table 8 and FIG. 7 and the following Table 9 and FIG. 8, respectively.

The numerical values exceeding 100% in the following Tables 8 and 9 show those measured at a concentrationis slightly higher than the initial measurement value, and this is due to the fact that an average value of the measured values was simply shown without considering a statistical error generated during the measurement. Since the measured value of about 95% or more is deemed to have practically no change in concentration, it may be seen that the compounds of the present invention are excellent in chemical stability.
